I use one from Rockler. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=10871&source=googleps&utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Google
It's not cheap but clamps securely, is simple to...
Thanks for setting it straight Van. Mine is an older model with the 4 straight knives. It does a great job on almost anything. I had to plane some bird's eye maple for a friend once and I wish I...
Back in the 70's I bought a Belsaw 12 inch planer with a 5 HP Baldor motor and I think it cost me about $1200. It rivaled the Rockwell 13" I had at school. I did some moldings with it from time to...
The test score game is impacting all electives. I taught shop classes in addition to computer classes. After shop was eliminated, they turned my computer classes into research writing classes so...
I had the usual problems that others commented on when I first brought home my 22-44. The conveyor belt initially tracked hard left against the tracker no matter how it was adjusted. PerformaX tech...
I have never regretted this purchase. It handles mortises with ease. The indexing stops make repeatability a breeze. And don't overlook its usefulness for more than mortise and tenon joints....

My sander arrived with the motor fan cover pushed in and rubbing against the fan. This was easy to remedy with a screwdriver. I'm glad I rotated the motor by...
I was really impressed with one of the new offerings. I won't name the brand because this may have been single flawed unit. The 90 degree table to fence alignment was several degrees off. Put a...
My 87 year old father in-law followed me out to the shop this morning and asked me that same question. I told him I probably should get a Saw Stop for safety's sake but that a wide belt sander would...
I bought the largest set they offer on sale at one of "The Woodworking Shows". What I got was a nice collection of good bits at a really great price. The case they come in is a bonus. I look at...
Built a lot of furniture with it but had separate jointer and planer. I would look at getting a decent table saw and the Griz combo 12" planer/jointer if space and the budget won't allow separates. ...
It is hard to get started on a new project when the shop is full of clutter. I'm compulsive about having everything neat and put away and the shop cleaned up before I start something new. Lately,...
I bought a PM floor model some years ago. Shortly thereafter they came out with the tilt head models which I wish mine had. It's a nice addition to a shop. What amazes me is the uses for it other...
DELTA 31-396 6-Inch 3 Horsepower Oscillating Edge Sander, 220-Volt 1 Phase (Tools & Hardware) I've revised this review as of 1/8/04
My sander arrived with the motor fan cover pushed in...
Ben, my principal came to me and said he needed another teacher to be able to offer one additional hour of wood shop. I told him I had never even been in a shop and he said he said the two shop...
I've had the 22124 for several years now and find it is accurate with little tweaking required from the factory setup. The Leitz blade that comes with it is excellent. The design of the saw allows...
Vince,
Bosch used to offer the 1611 plunge router in both 110V rated 3 1/2 HP and the 220V rated at 3 3/4 HP.
You have me thinking Nathan. I could drill and countersink for some bolts through the top into some square steel tubing and try to pull the warp out. It would have to be some strong stuff. Come...
After years of use my phenolic router table top has developed quite a bit of sag in the center both front to back and side to side. The Rout R Lift will just not sit flat and flush with the top...
I just refinished a large dining room table top. When I do spray finishing I set up a temporary spray booth in the shop with 4 of those helping hand power poles and some paper backed drop cloths. I...
I have a Performax 22-44 Pro drum sander with a 1 3/4 HP 110V single phase motor. Yes it is underpowered and slow and leaves straight line scratches but with patience it works. Woodworking friends...
In a race to unload a new floor model spindle sander for my school shop I made the huge mistake of grabbing the metal banding around the shipping crate. Several stitches later and I am lucky I can...
"The woodworking world is all a-twitter over recent news that a Boston jury awarded $1.5 million in damages to a man who injured his hand on a tablesaw without flesh-detecting technology." This is...
I've had the same model since the 70's and it is my "go to" square of choice. I'm not sure why as I have others that are also dead on accurate. I guess it's because the head slides to use for...
